I have three varieties that I have potted and bring in each year. They were young when I got them and even with the pot are only 4 1/2 foot now. But the Improved Meyer Lemon really produced for me last year, 7 fruits; although that is not why I have them.

I garden for butterflies, planting their host plants and bring in the caterpillars to protect them from the preditor flies and wasps. Then release them as adults.
The beautiful Giant Swallowtail Butterfly uses the citrus as a host plant. This is a shot of the first instar caterpillars. They eat the leaves not the fruits!
